Heya Burnt! I'm back from my neuro appointment and he believes what I'm having is migraine and not TN. But he does believe I have had 'attacks' of TN in the past (I explained the stabbing blinding pain that hit me years back).

So for now I'm trying Advil to see if this helps the pain (instead of Tylenol). I don't honestly think it will lol. I don't believe he realizes how much pain I'm feeling from this.

He upped my amitriptyline as well from 10mg to 20mg at night. I've been on 10mg nightly for 3 months with the hope of preventing migraines. We'll see how it goes from here on out.

I am still of the belief that this is beyond migraine pain. I guess it's difficult for the 'outsiders' (this case, neuro) to understand the degree of pain you're experiencing. If the Advil doesn't do the trick, I'll be calling back his office and telling them something else needs to be done or investigated.
